"Just Tell Them...

I have worked 40 years to make the Women's Suffrage platform broad enough for Atheists and Agnostics to stand upon, and now if need be I will fight the next 40 to keep it Catholic enough to permit the straightest Orthodox religionist to speak or pray and count her beads upon."

The Table Is Set

The table is setthe parties beginbut what about folks, who have always been ...

Pro-tax and pro-healthpro-child and pro-carepro-whatever helpsthe poor and unfair -

ly treated members of our great stateWhere do we fit intothis new found tax hate?

I've had it with bail-outsI've had it with spinI'll be home in my parlortottling my gin.

It was started to oppose the bailouts and the stimulus bill. I don't think it has anything to do with people who don't like children. Lots of children are going to them with signs that say they are concerned about their futures because of the horrific debt Obama is creating for them. I don't believe it has been hijacked by anyone. It sounds like you are listening to the MSM who want to portray it as right-wing, conservative, which is not true. It is the average American who is going to these and it is the first time many of them have ever participated in something like this. I think it is really good for these people to stand up and speak out; it is empowering. I support them but I also support universal health care; I don't see the two as mutually exclusive. It is the indiscrminate pork barrel spending and bailing out of private business and irresponsible home owners that I oppose. The businesses need to be allowed to fail if they can not produce a product people will buy for a price people will pay. If there is demand for the product someone else will fill the gap and that includes the banks. The perpetual bailouts and subsidies are creating artifically inflated prices, such as in housing, so that normal average people who live within their means, such as myself, can not buy a home..you have to be either very rich or very poor to buy a home or I guess very stupid and get one of those mortgages you know you can't afford and then depend on the sympathy of your neighbors to bail you out. So, people who live honestly can't own a home but are being asked to bail out people who live beyond their means and that is how this all started and I support it. Amen

Amblings of a Stray

Where In The World Is ....

In "real life" Dawg is a mom, a nurse, a pet rescuer and a tireless advocate for animal rights.
Dawg is happily married for thirty years and has raised three awesome children. She holds an advanced degree in Family Science, wherein her research was focused on women's support circles during parturition. Her dedication to Women's Rights is directly affected by her belief that motherhood should not be a sentence to isolation and disenfranchisement.
Dawg is on hiatus from political bloggery d/t the intense demands of her engagement in the No Kill movement at this time. However, she remains influenced by PUMA politics and reads the blogs of her fellow PUMAs (at right) regularly.

"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave.
